With Innovation Pack 2015, we are simplifying the way we version the Siebel product, moving from the four- to five-part version naming system to a simple two-part naming system.

We have briefly presented the script to customers in a previous blog article which is still available here.

This easy-to-use script could not be used for cases where the input parameters such as ledgers or calendar periods included special characters (more...)

Congratulations! Your new project is off to a great start and all of the stakeholders came away from the project kickoff meeting informed and enthused. Now you may be wondering how do I keep these very busy stakeholders informed and enthused as the project moves along? One technique used by successful OUM projects is to communicate the project's status to all of the stakeholders upon the completion of the phase end milestones, and take (more...)

Recommended Patch Collections (RPC's) are released by Development periodically with the main purpose of providing a compact, reliable collection of relevant product patches that would address the main and most oftenly reported issues.

EECS 2.0.6.0.0 Virtual or 2.0.0.0.0 (more...)

Devoxx France will take place next week in Paris. And this year, the most popular French Java conference is moving to a newer (and larger) venue: Palais des Congrés!

The overall conference agenda is impressive but Java EE obviously well covered (see the overview below). Personally, I will co-host with Roberto Cortez a session and a Hands-on lab on the Batch API (JSR 352). I also have another regular conference session where I will talk (more...)
